Pros

o Really smart, talented people who care deeply about the mission of making language learning accessible to everyone in the world. o A CEO who is a visionary genius and cares equally about culture and business results. o The best package of employee benefits you are ever likely to see. o Great office environment and lots of opportunities to do things together outside of work (including the annual trip to Cancun!)

Cons

If you like to work hard on something that matters and have fun doing it, I cant think of any downside.

Pros

Mission, smart and kind people, great work, hard working teams focused on results and delivering against an awesome mission. People push themselves and each other to learn and grow. Swarms of smart and creative problem solvers.

Cons

Small number of people are unhappy and instead of leaving they complain. A lot. I think it's like this everywhere but in a smaller company you feel it.

Pros

1. Great, and I mean great people 2. PTO policy very generous and unlimited sick time 3. Pretty flexible hours and the offices themselves are nice. 4. Super good for new grads, do your time for a couple years then move on.

Cons

1. Pittsburgh is the worst city I’ve ever had to live in. If that’s your assigned office good luck trying to transfer. No ability for remote work even temporary for legitimate family reasons. 2. Promos are based on favoritism. If you’re saddled with a bad manager you get a bad review for no reason. If your manager doesn’t like you, they will complain to others on the team about you behind your back.
